123's

If you are like us then you are learning your ABC's and 123's and it is so much fun. Well we just pulled out the tree and started decorating the "kid fantasy tree" and since the kids are learning their numbers I thought that we would incorporate that into the tree. Lucky me they sell the above metal numbers @ Home Depot for a dollar something a piece and even have a little hole to thread some twine through so that they can hang from our tree. Don't you love finding things in the most unsuspecting places?

P.S. - The little elves in a sleigh happen to be this years inaugural ornament for the fun tree...isn't it perfect for my little equation...

My daughter is asking, "Is that my Christmas tree? [giggle, giggle]." I wish it were and not just because it is already up and finished but because mainly it is so cheery and pretty.

I may have to head to the Depot for some numbers--great idea!

Your tree is adorable! I might just have to go and pick up some numbers for myself at Home Depot!

Such a great idea, I love it!

I use those same numbers on our walkout tree! They are great! Also, for Halloween decorating I use the 3 and 1 and just prop them wherever.
